Baked Farfella with Broccoli & Chicken

I still prefer homemade creamy pasta sauce compared to the commercial one which loaded with MSG and flavourings. Creamy cheesy pasta is also my kids favourite compared to tomato based one :D So expected to see the kids polish up their plates very clean and request for 2nd helping! *Happy Mummy* ^0^

1st step browned the chicken first, followed by sautéing the onions and garlic. Add in flour and seasoning to create a roux. Pour in stock and cream and simmer till thickens. Yumz! Lastly stirred in chicken, sun-dried tomato and cheese.

The original recipe uses Penne pasta, but while grocery shopping with my girl she exclaimed :"I want ribbon one!" hahaha so in the end I got the Farfella instead of Penne ^0^ Combine cooked broccoli & farfella pasta together in a pot.

Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to boil. Add in 1/2 tbsp salt and add in broccoli. Cook for about 1 min, remove the broccoli and set aside. Return the water to a boil and add in the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil.

In some olive oil in a deep pan. Add marinated chicken and brown them for about 2-3 mins on each side. Remove from pan and set aside.

Add in 1 tbsp olive in pan. Saute onion till fragrant and softened. Stir in garlic and dried thyme and cook for a min.
